Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6375-1 advisory.

 Florian Fainelli discovered that atftp did not properly manage requests made to a non-existent file, which could lead to a crash. A remote

 attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
